The internet on your Television
As of today, less and less people are watching television. What are they doing instead? People are now more into the Internet and watching shows online. In efforts to maintain their audience, TV manufacturers, cable and satellite providers are looking to bring the Internet to TV. Some of these people are already ahead of the game such as Samsung who has the new LED 7000 and 8000 models Televisions with high-definition which will have embedded Skype software so that Skype users can make video and voice calls through the TVs. "Cable companies and other pay-TV providers may use software that would provide Internet access via set-top boxes. No new TV would be needed, and the customer's remote control could essentially act as a mouse." In my opinion I am not sure if I will enjoy surfing the web while watching TV. Personally TV is relaxing because I can just sit there and watch, I do not need to be constantly typing or surfing. I am curious as to what you all think about internet coming to TV?

I think this the television combined with the internet is great. With tools such Netflix, people can instantly share and watch movies on their larger screens rather than on their smaller screened computers. Hopefully there is an option that allows people to only watch television when they do not want to be on the Internet.
ReplyDeleteI found it interesting that technology is expanding so much that the internet is becoming apart of televsion production. Its amazing how many people want access to all the different technology all in one devices. Eventually the t.v will be able to sync to web, cell phone, and even control other applications in the home such as the air condition!!!
